What is an enhanced company profile?
The Enhanced Company Profile is an expanded data set which you can use to verify company registration information and the identity of associated persons including company officials and shareholders. It’s our most used offering for KYC/AML use cases, where AML legislation obligates organisations to verify key details about customers, their directors and ownership using reliable and independent data.
In much the same way as our basic company details, enhanced profiles are extracted live at the point of the request from the relevant company registry and are not edited by Kyckr. The only changes we make are to restructure the information into standardised headings, making it easier to read, particularly when the information itself is in a different language from your native one.
We can provide an enhanced profile in jurisdictions where it is possible to access structured company information at the registry. In some jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Germany, Kyckr also takes shareholder information extracted from PDF registry documents and includes this within the profile, saving you time and money as you won’t need to purchase, download and manually process registry documents.
The enhanced profile includes (where these details are filed in structured form at the registry or can be extracted by Kyckr from documents):
- Registration Information (including everything in the basic company details/lite company profile)
- Share capital structure
- Company officials (incl. Directors) - including function, date of birth and address.
- Shareholders (beneficial owners) - including share count, share percentage and ID information
- Persons of Significant Control (UK-only)
Given this information is retrieved live from the registry, we also provide a time and date stamp at the point of the retrieval along with the name of the relevant registry. This makes it fully audit-proof and useful for satisfying regulatory obligations.
